A massaging and showering assembly comprising a guide rail along which a carriage holding a massage and shower head can be moved vertically; a water flow reversing control-unit and a piston-cylinder arrangement which is connected to a water line and with which the carriage is in communication. Known assemblies of this kind have been of costly and generally heavy design, the guide rail, in particular being freely accessible and highly exposed to dirt and damage. They also occupy a relatively large space and are very difficult to install in shower cabins. In contrast to this, the assembly of the present invention is to be produced at low production cost, to be light and compact, but to be highly reliable and while having great stability. This new assembly provides a carriage guiding rail with an inner chamber for the piston-cylinder arrangement, the inner chamber comprising a closing front wall. Moreover, the carriage-guiding rail is provided, behind the front wall, with an opening for a guide element for the carriage.
